Emotional Walls

If you’ve ever truly loved, you’ve likely added bricks to your wall. It’s nice to peek over it most of the time, but from time to time, it’s a relief to have a shield from the pain and despair of disappointment.

“One reason people put up emotional walls is to manage what happens next. But this sense of control is a myth. Because in reality, things play out like they’re going to and you have far less power over other people than you imagine (or you’d like). There’s a sense of If I, then she will that’s also a myth. You just can’t predict or control other people’s behavior.” – 4 Truths About People Who Put Up (Emotional) Walls | These Little Waves,

47 of 365 is technology haiku #GIMP #fail

Lame duck ninja haiku
Lame duck ninja haiku

I used GIMP to make an idea I had earlier today as I was slashing through piles of email that have less and less relevance to me . It fit nicely into the 7-5-7 form which I forgot is not the haiku form, which is 5-7-5. DUH! In case you’ve not heard, I recently resigned from my long-term position at Rider to take a similar position at Princeton University. And so, all those emails that might have had me jumping a month ago are a lot easier to pass on, respond quickly to, or simply (ninja vanishing sounds).

It is likely that I am just upset that it’s not a TiVo remote, but I really think this remote has some incredible design flaws.
